God is a Poet

I burn the midnight oil 
To fuel these thoughts that are nocturnal 
Pen and paper is my late night affair 
Hours and owls that chime in like clockwork 
This isn’t harry potter but I will send these secrets through thin air 
The patterns we can manifest makes me think anything is possible 
You’re blind and can’t see, but you still believe it 
We’re only migrants and I’m hoping to still be living when we reach the zenith 
We’re not even camping but this is intense 
You’re not being serious but I’m taking offense,
Taking so many shots at me I think you gave me lockjaw 
You’re like these walls that surround us,
you won’t even tell me what you saw 
I’m not good with “no’s” 
So why is it in your vocabulary?
I know you’re not a psychic so why do you refuse to get to know me?
Oh I forgot, you’re a connoisseur of what’s good for you
You just know everything about what’s good for you 
And since you do, teach me all your self fulfilling prophecies 
And you love to tell me to wear my heart on my sleeve a little quieter 
Is it that I don’t have the guts, or I have too much sympathy to wrong her?
Suffer is a strong word, but from what I’ve seen, I don’t think you’re stronger
